Subject: Volume 3 issue 1

Of all the genres which Weird Tales published, the one which might be termed 'exotic adventure' is perhaps the least interesting, especially when it lacks an element of the supernatural or science-fictional. So far, the only example of this type of story published in this magazine that stood out to me as being worth reading was Sunfire from a couple issues back, and the examples published here do nothing to change my opinion on the matter. Unfortunately, that genre makes up a considerable portion of this issue, of which The Cobra Lily is perhaps the most readable. The most noteworthy stories this time around are The Abysmal Horror, The Picture In The House, The Open Window, The Monstrosity, and The Black Cat; unfortunately, none of these, apart from the Poe story, are as good as the better stories in some of the past issues. The poem by Clark Ashton Smith is quite good.
